Don’t hate because you can’t afford private school. I’m a product of a great public school system and so are my friends. My best friend committed suicide due to a bully. The bully would have been shown the door at a private school.

It doesnt make him extremely cheap to not want 3 kids in private school, cmon now. Thats a major financial family decision. Its not like you said he goes to restaurants and tips 10% or something. This is way bigger.

4 hours? Our math tutor is $85/hr, that would work out to $12k per kid per school year. Might as well go private.

OP here. We pay $35 plus we gave her 500 at Christmas. It’s cheaper to live where we do than in DC.
